Bottega, Prosecco Spumante, "Il Vino Dei Poeti"

€21.99

Named after the poets from the Veneto (there have been quite a few, starting with Dante...), this is a gorgeous fully sparkling wine that shows a good deal of complexity and finesse.

Dry, crisp and refreshing, it has flavours of white blossom, pear and fresh green apple with hints of marzipan on the palate. Excellent on its own or with light starters.

Bottega are a very large and very successful producer based in the Veneto. Interestingly enough, however, they have only been in existence as a company since the 20th Century and then, set up as a distillery.

Nouveau Riche? Not quite, they were growing very fine grapes since the mid-17th century and as a result were able to raise funding for the winery relatively easily and essentially divert the high quality grapes to their own project.

With a flagship product in the shape of the hand-painted gold bottle, Bottega Gold Prosecco (the very first of its kind), and its spin-offs, the future looks to be extremely bright for this house of bubbles.

Amazing service from the get go!
I emailed Chris looking for wine recommendations for a birthday gift. Got a really speedy, helpful reply and not only that but he hand delivered it on time to the birthday girl wishing her a happy birthday. Absolutely bowled over by the service. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Could not recommend The Allotment enough. The selection is fantastic and each wine that I've drank from them has been utterly phenomenal. Delivery was no hassle and I had the wine at my door in 2 days. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

A great experience ordering from The Allotment Wine Company. A wide variety of wines to try something new and at good prices with super quick delivery! Really convenient too as opposed to trying to find parking!

★★★★★
Delicious and interesting range of wines delivered promptly to my door. Not far off that lovely feeling of coming back laden from a good wine store but without any of the traffic or the worry of breaking the wine en route (very impressive travel wrap).
